In communication to one of the scien-
tif1c journals, on the subject of paper and
the industries connected with it, M. De
Boutarel presents some valuable data
showing the great increase in the quantity
Of pens, paper, pencils, etc., manufactured
In Europe and the United States alone.
According to this authority, the produc-
ton of paper, which at the beginning of
the century was practically nothing in the
United States, some time since amounted
to 500, 900 tons per annum, and this guam
tity is just doubled in Europe-the value
Of the straw, rags and other materials used
In the manufacture of the paper being
about $1OO,OOO,OOO. The value Of all this
paper, when manufactured, is estimated
at $500, 100000. The value of the steel
pens annually produced, M. Boutarel finds
to be not less than 81, 900, ,00O.-New York

the following from the Enquirer:
"a remarkable feat was performed
at Sleiher & Bros. store at Lawrence
burg, Ind, recently, in the presence of
large crowd ofspectators. John Fox
had made a bet Of S5 with Nick Voltz,
that the latter could not suck four
dozen of eggs in fifteen minutes, and
Voltz undertook to win the money,
and accomplished the gluttonous feat
in just nine minutes, having broken
one at time and swallowed forty
eight hen eggs in the nine minutes
without any apparent inconvenience,
and took several drinks of whisky
afterward, evidently for the purpose of
making egg-nog out of the mess he had
taken into his stomach. Several wit
nesses of the gorging performance now
propose to put up 800 that the egg
eater can swallow six, dozen within an
hours time" '.....

DEBTS OF OHIO FARMEKs.
They Would be Considerably De-
creased il Taxation was
More Equal.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., March 30.-The
monthly bulletin of the agricultural de-
partment has sn interesting novelty In
the shane of q discussion Of the debts
of farmers. For Ohio the report says;
dIn this State decrease of indebted
ness during the past ten years is re-
ported. It is estimated that one-fourth
of the farms are encumbered by mort
gage to secure debt to neighboring
farmers and bankers and to insurance
companies and eastern capitalists. The
smaller debts are generally due on local
loans. The rate of interest is averaged
at per cent. There are few farmers
who have capital employed in other
business. Ohio farmers are generally
in good condition, though feeling
severely the disappointment of low
prices on certain staple products.
The following statement is an ex-
tract from the report of the State
agent: "While the Indebtedness OF
Ohio farmers is no doubt very general,
it is evident from the country records
that the amount of farm Indebtedness
is less than It was ten years ago, and
would be still less if taxation were
more nearly equalized in the State.
EVERYTHING possessed by the farmer is
in sight for enumeration, and there is
less evasion of taxation by the farmers
than by any other class ofcitizens. The
farmer, therefore, pays his full proper
ton of taxation, and also o great por-
tion that should be paid by spectators
in stocks and mortgages and other per-
Sonal and valuable effects, much of
which is Eever returned for taxation.
More equal taxation would enable the
farmer to apply his excess now paid in
taxes to O reduction of his indebted
ness, and few years at most would
see him free and Independent of debt.
The extent of farmers property inter-
ests outside of farms is very limited.
A few Ohio farmers have investments
in western lands and some in
city property, but the surplus money
of wealthy farmers rests in many in
stances in government and other good
securities. There are, however, but
few such farmers. Most of them have
only surplus sufficient to keep farm
matters moving along"

MCLuSEY, o., July 6, 1885.
To the Editor Of the Family Herald:
Death has again visited our commun-
ity. Mr.. Benjamin Fickle was born
April 28th, 1926. Died July 4th, 1885.
The deceased united with the Nj. L.
Church in the year of 1858, at Pleasant
Grove church in Marietta District,
under the PastOrate of Rev. Daniel
Ricketts,. Mr.. Fickle wasa man highly
esteemed by all who knew HIM and it
would not be saying too much, that he
was an exception in his social life, for
it seemed to be his great delight to live
peaceable with everybody, and the sur
rounding community greatly mourn
the loss of one who was so generous in
all his character.
The deceased enlisted in Co. B., o.
N. G.. May 2, 1864, and served his
country faithfully until Sept. 5, 1864,
when he received his honorable dis
charge. He was buried with full mill
tary honors, under the auspicies of
"Driggs and Martin" Post, G. A. r. of
which he was member. The Sons of
Veterans of Pherson Camp participated
in the services. The funeral sermon
was preached by Rev. Griffith, of Deav-
ertown circuit, text, third chapter of

After the funeral service the remains of
deceased were inferred in the Tiff GEM
etery. The deceased leaves wife and
five children to mourn his loss, and
who have the sympathy of the entire
community.
Blessed are they who die in the Lord;
for they have but just begun to live.

Villains With Light Eyes and Hair.

"Why is it that stage villains are always

The Chattanooga (Tennessee) Com

whenever political party is COM
PEELED to resort to revolution to carry

people, as expressed at the ballot-box,
goes for naught. Elections are farce.
Popular government is a thing of the

cigar the dealer innocently gathers a
handful from box in the showcase
and spreads them before him. After
the purchaser has made his selection
the remaining ones are returned to the
box. This is unlawful and lays the
dealer liable to a heavy penalty. The
law says that cigars must be sold from
the original package, and that they
must not be removed from the box un-
